5.00This tour with Kris was such an epic experience. I'm a first time visitor here, and all the awesome and at times daunting history I learned kind of made me want to stay. From the history of the absolutely beguiling beauty of the architecture to the many tragic happenings that lead to whispers of hauntings. 10 out of 10 must experience!
Best tour in Chicago!

3.00This was the first tour so there are some kinks that I'm sure Joseph will work out in the future. He's a great storyteller, and you see some neat things.
Highly recommend.
